Don't you just love the upsets while crowning a champ?!?  :96:

Well Gonzaga is the #1 overall seed, so if Baylor were to win, that would represent an upset, and therefore wouldn't be acceptable to some.

to some

first of all this is just crowning a tournament champ, not a season champ

to me, a #1 vs #2 game to decide a champ is acceptable

Yeah, as long as we wind up with Gonzaga-Baylor, the rest was just noise anyway

Definitely shows the difference in football and basketball. Gonzaga and Houston wouldn't even be allowed in the college football playoffs.

That's about as false as an equivalent can get.  Sheeesh.

Nope. Looking at who has been invited to the playoffs, it is 100 percent accurate

But you are implying that it is because they are excluded for an arbitrary and illegitimate reason. They aren't.

Yikes, I'm thinking that CBS is going to hate this F4. 

Problem #1 is that none of these teams have particularly large fan bases. That will reduce viewers/ratings. 

Problem #2 is that there is very limited geographic diversity. We have two teams from Texas and two West coast teams. That will reduce viewers/ratings. 

Problem #3 is that there isn't even the geographic diversity that we could theoretically in the semi-finals. Instead of two Tx vs west coast games we have a Tx game and a west coast game. That will reduce viewers/ratings. 

My guess is that this year's ratings will be dismal.

Past ratings/viewers:

I'm not implying anything. I'm pointing out clear differences between the two systems. Whether you like one or the other is up to you.

While Gonzaga Football has been undefeated since 1941, it is due in large part to the fact that that's the last time that they fielded a team.
